Ruby Moo's Deep-Sea Adventure!

Description

Ruby Moo has always been different from the other cows. She isn't content making yogurt, milk, and cheese on the dairy farm. Ruby wants to be an astronaut, an explorer, and, more than anything, she wants to be the first cow deep-sea diver. So one day, brave Ruby Moo stows away on a van and rides it all the way to the ocean. Borrowing a helmet, she dives right into the water and discovers an exciting shipwreck along with a scary, giant squid! Thankfully, the squid is only looking for a chess partner-and maybe someone to play with on his trampoline. Phew! Author Isabel Atherton concocts a quirky story of a courageous cow who dares to dream big. Bethany Straker's zany illustrations bring the story to life with vibrant colors that are sure to spark the imaginations of little readers everywhere and make them say, "If Ruby Moo can, I can, too!" Sky Pony Press, with our Good Books, Racehorse and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of books for young readers-picture books for small children, chapter books, books for middle grade readers, and novels for young adults. Our list includes bestsellers for children who love to play Minecraft; stories told with LEGO bricks; books that teach lessons about tolerance, patience, and the environment, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
